AICC Chief Rahul Gandhi may walk in the footsteps of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He may remain single all his life after his recent statement that he is wedded to the Congress party and its ideology.

When asked as to when he intends to marry, Rahul told an Editor's Meet in Hyderabad that he was already wedded to the grand old party of Indian politics. Analysts and political observers have begun to wonder whether this is a clear pointer to the fact that he would remain a bachelor in the years to come.

For years now, there has been a lot of speculation about Rahul Gandhi's marriage and an overenthusiastic media, as is its wont, linked him with a few women as well. However, all this came to nought with Rahul staying free of any asoociation so far and his recent admission in a public forum seems to nail the issue with a clear sense of finality.

The Congress president was in Telangana recently during which he heavily criticized both Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as Telangana chief minister K chandrashekar Rao, calling both of them specialists in redesigning. Rahul was alluding to the Rafale deal and the Kaleshwaram projects among other things.
